Not intentionally, perhaps, but you ask for instructions and don't follow them; you get advice and then don't take it.
You said this can be done So all I'm asking is can anyone tell me how this is done !
I find all the #? confusing as I am Dyslexic which is another reason I've probably not made sense & I opoligise for that, So please can somebody HELP.
I'm very sorry about that, but I do not know how to make it less confusing.
As posted earlier, you need to set up your new Time Capsule, then drag the old sparse bundle to the Data folder on the new one (via the Finder).
A step by step guide would be very helpful written in the simplest way as I have trouble understanding the #? Answers in the given threads.
It is as clear as I know how to make it.
That's why I advised you to just start fresh with new backups. You can always see the old ones separately, via the +*Browse Other Time Machine Disks+* option, per #E2 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
Or, take it to your local Apple Store; or find a more technical friend who can help; continuing to post here is not working.

Is it possible to use a USB hub on a new MacBook Pro with Maverickss?

I have used a powered Q-Store USB2 hub on first my old trust MacBook with the 13 inch screen running System X.6.8 for years; then I switched it over to my new 13 In. MacBook Pro (non retina) with Mavericks X.9.2 and it still works great. It is powered and seems to run a full load including USB hard drives, camera when wanted, cooling pad with fan, printer/scanner/copier combo, charging a MP3 player or Galaxy S4, apple mouse and keyboard, all with no trouble and no drop outs. I let an old Firewire 400 or 800 hard disk stay with my old Macintosh for now as it mirrors it, but sometimes hook it up with no problem except it gets hot.
I have a new USB3 WD Passport 3 hard drive and a 32 gb USB 3 memory stick. I wanted to put these on a USB3 hub and use one of the ports for the faster items. I can run either my WD My Passport 3 Gb drive that I use to mirror my internal drive as long as it is alone. I can also plug a 32 gb A Data memory stick in fine alone except things get a bit snug, and there's no more room on the USB 2 hub for the memory stick. If I do not use a hub for the one port I have to either use the Hard Drive or the memory stick, not both. I was using the memory stick to port files back and forth between my old and new computers at least for a while. The USB 3 peripherals work reliably when plugged in alone, but the moment a hub gets in the picture even if only one item is plugged into it, things drop in and out. It does not matter if it is the powered USB 3 hub or the non-powered Anker USB 3 4 port hub. The USB 2 items simply work but the USB 3 ones only work alone. I have looked at the power specifications. It seems like one hard drive uses all of the power the hub can put out.
It looks like the USB 3 is rather limited on Macintosh computers is all I can conclude. There may be extra speed, but what good is it if you can only run one peripheral at a time? It seems like even a hub stresses it unless it is a hub and a memory stick or two. I even changed to system settings to keep my hard drives from going to sleep, but still it drops out randomly if hooked to a hub and runs perfectly when plugged in directly. I had hoped to use it for an emergency start up disk if needed, though I must say the rather incredible StoreEdge Micro SDX card works great for that purpose and seems to belong.
That old USB 2 hub, even with a smaller one plugged in with 2 portable hard drives still works flawlessly on the other port and never drops out.
I have not tested the Firewire 800 port long enough to decide, except it gets hot if it reads very long.. The old Firewire 800 / USB 2 hard disk has more than one port on it unlike so many today. I had to use a Firewire 800 to 400 cable for my old computer. Anyway it works in either computer and stays mounted even when asleep.
Is it possible to use a USB 3 hub with more than one peripheral on a 2012-2013 13 inch MacBook Pro computer with Mavericks? If so which one works? It cannot be good for hard disks to randomly disconnect and reconnect without being dragged to the trash.

no you can't - you have to upgrade it to 16GB yourself.
you can get your RAM from newegg.com, macsales.com.
the RAM you need is 16GB (8GBX2) DDR3 1600MHz DDR3.
upgrading the RAM yourself will not void your warranty.
you need a #00 Phillips Screwdriver - 10 screws at the bottom - 7 long ones and 3 short ones - just remember where they go when you put the screws back in.

Is it possible to use SCOM 2012 R2 with the new Azure Managment Pack to monitor Aure Wadlog Events for azure sdk 2.5

My operations team has been using MOM 2007 and has recently migrated to SCOM 2012 R2.
Till now we are using Monitoring Pack management packs which were released way earlier (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11324),
and had a dependency on diagonstics connection string being present in the cscfg of Azure package.
This pack was allowing us to monitor the wad logs and events generated by applications.
However we plan to move to newer Azure managemen pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414), which allows for discoverability.
I have 2 questions -
Is it possible to monitor Diagonstics Event Log with the new Monitoring Pack released on 10/2014 ? Or will the users still require the earlier pack for monitoring diagnostics installed in parallel ?
Azure SDK 2.5 got rid of diagonstics connection string. Is there any possible way to Monitor of Azure Diagonstics wadlogs using SCOM 2012 R2
Thanks,
Pratush

Hi Pratush,
I would like to suggest you go through the management pack guide to get details. And you should be able to create custom monitor to monitor event logs for Azure.

Time capsule - is it possible to use to wireless backup of my ipad and iphone

I'm looking for a backup solution enabling me to see information like dropbox and thereby being able to move the relevant folder, files etce to another Device being connecte

iOS devices typically are backed up by iTunes. The iTunes backups themselves can be backed up by Time Machine.

Using Time Machine Backup Drive with NEW Macbook Pro

I just got a new Macbook Pro. I migrated from my old MacBook Pro. Now I want to use my Time Machine Disk with this new machine.
When I connect the external drive, and select back up now, it says there is not enough space (due to the fact this is a new machine and it wants to backup the entire thing)
Also, when I go into the TimeMachine, it doesn't show me anything past today. . . all of my backups are not displayed over the past year. . .
How do I make it so that the external drive displays all my old backups. . . ??
Thank you for your help.

Turn off TM or set the backup drive to null. Rename your computer in Sharing preferences to the same computer name of your old computer. Turn TM back on and reselect the backup drive. TM will behave as you expect. Of course if the file dates on the new machine are all changed since the migration, then TM will correctly assume that they require backing up. You will then find that there will not be sufficient space on the drive for the new backups. If this occurs then you should simply erase the backup drive and start your TM backup anew.

Using Time machine backup drive on new mac

Hi
I have an external hard drive that has a time machine backup on it. I want to use it on a re-installed mac, the re-installed mac has quite a few new files on it.
Can you just plug it in and copy all the files across to the newly installed Mac and carry on - or is there a danger of anything going missing?
Thanks for your advice.

Is it possible to use the free Pages app on new iPads when using Configurator?

We understood that Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and other apps would be free for our new iPads. We are a K12 school and use Apple Configurator to supervise student devices. These apps are showing up as paid apps. Is there a way to make this work?
If we log into iTunes on an unsupervised device, we can download the apps free. However, this is not possible for student devices.

Hi, Daniel,
Currently, the PXI-8221 is not supported under LabVIEW RT. If you need to have an external hard disk for additional disk space, I will recommend you getting a PXI-8252. This is a FireWire card and you can connect an external hard drive to it with the right HDD enclosure.
The following document should give you a better idea:

Is it possible to use skype without wireless on the new 4g ipad?

I work in a school with several buildings, only one of which has a wireless network available. Last month, I bought the ipad 2 with wireless plus 3g because we need to skype in someone to meetings we hold in one of the buildings w/o wireless. (I've already been told that facetime won't work at all with 4g, only wireless.) The 3g did not work well at all, the skype session was spotty at best and not clear. So, when the new ipad came out with 4g, I took the ipad 2 back and am planning to purchase the new ipad as soon as the money is refunded to our account. Does anyone know which carrier would be best, ATT or Verizon, or if it makes any difference?
Another question: I coordinate a model United Nations for elementary and middle school kids, and am planning to use my new ipad to videotape the conference, and had gotten the ipad 2 with 64 GB of memory, in case we might use it for the whole two days of the conference, but am not sure if I need to spend the extra $100. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

HT1414 My laptop and iPad was stolen. My life history is contained in photographs and music, is it possible to restore my iTunes backup onto a new laptop and iPad?

Please can you advise whether it is possible to restore I tunes back-ups onto a new Mac laptop?

If you backed up your iTunes library somewhere befroe the laptop was stolen, then yes of course it possible.

The third section there talks about how to restore it.

Using Alu Power Adapter with The new MBP Unibody 2009 ? (Both 85 Watts)

Hi,
Can i use the Power Adapter off my Aluminium MBP 2.5 GHz,15" intel core 2 Duo (MacBookPro4,1), with the new Unibody 15" 2.66 GHz(MacBookPro5,1)?
They are both 85 Watts.
The Power adapter for Aluminium is :
Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
Output : 16,5-18,5V, 4,6 A Max
Delta Eletronic
The Power Adapter for Unibody is :
Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
Output : 18,5V 4,6A, 16,5V, 3,6A
LiteOn Technology
Thanks for The Lights.

That's correct, I meant to type 85W.
Can anyone advise what the impact will be of using older 85W adapters with the new MBP's that come with a 60W adapter?
Is there a shorter battery life in the long-term, or is the new battery designed to cope the same with either of these power adapters?

Is it possible to use backup files previously copied to an external hard drive to backup an iPhone?

My sister froze her iPhone by trying to turn it off during a software update (not sure why) and restored it because she thought it would fix it. Unfortunately she unintentionally deleted all of her data and settings. She doesn't use iCloud, so I'm assuming all her files are backed up to her computer when she syncs her iPhone, but using iTunes I can only find two backup points using Edit>Preferences>Devices, both in the past few minutes. I know that each sync overrides the last backup files instead of creating newer ones, so apparently older backup files from her computer can't be used to recover her data. However, we both periodically use an external hard drive to back up our computers by basically dragging and dropping our files onto it, so there is an earlier version of her User folder on the external hard drive. It would definitely be preferable to use the backup files from a few months ago that are on the external hard drive and lose a few photos than to lose years of data, so would it be possible to direct iTunes to those backup files (AppData etc) instead of the ones saved on her computer hard drive? There's not any kind of browse option I can see that could allow me to get iTunes to search for backup files on the external hard drive and I'm not computer savvy enough to manually find the files and connect them to iTunes. Is it even possible to use backup files from an external hard drive? Do I have to replace the ones that exist on her computer now?

Garageband can't use VST plugins.
If you're talking about AUs: you could try to put an alias into the HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder instead of the actual files, and see if GB loads them.

HT3275 Is it possible to delete older backups manually? I have tried and the files will not delete (Files remain in trash when emptied)

Is it possible to use an older model Dell printer (wired) with a HP wireless laptop?

I am using an HP Pavillion laptop computer with Windows 7 at home. I am connected to a wireless printer (Canon 3 in 1). I have to leave town & go to my aunt's house in another city. She has no computer setup at her house, but we have wireless router there so I can use my laptop.
Can I take my old Dell printer (which I used when I had a desktop), plug it into my laptop (I assume I'll have to also install printer) & use it there (without it being wireless, etc.?). The ink should still be viable but it has been several months since I've used it. I need to know if it would be worthwhile to take my old printer with me & be able to set it up & use it. If so, is it possible to use a laptop (I use wireless at my aunt's house) with a hard-wired printer? And would it be hard to set up?
Bottom line is, I'm selling stuff on Ebay this week, I have to make an emergency trip to help family, & will probably have to lug items (and print out shipping labels) while I'm there. I thought it might be useful to have in the long run a printer (albeit an older model) that I can use while helping out family in another city.
I'm sure I'm leaving out some info but if you think you need more to answer my question, let me know.... thank you in advance.
This question was solved.

If I read this right, you can install your wired printer right now and test it out. Then go on your trip and just plug in back into your computer and it will work just fine.

Is it possible to use an external hard drive for time machine backup and also as a regular hard drive?

Is it possible to use an external hard drive for time machine backup and also as a regular hard drive?

I am using an external drive in the exact way that you described. You just keep it plugged in to the computer when you want to access the movies and files. In order to put files on it, just go to finder open up the drive under devices and drag and drop files onto the drive. It is just like using a usb drive with a terabyte of space.
